Percentage increase only tells part of the story.

oh.
how would you measure?
Well you have to look at it together with aggregate dollar increase term over term.
In a hpyothetical situation you can have the following:
Scenario A
Debt levels:
Prior Term: 5M
Next Term: 10M
Percentage Increase: 100%
Scenario B:
Debt Levls
Prior Term: 1,000M
Next Term: 1,500M
Percentage Increase: 50%
Which was actually worse for the country and the future?

Obviously, as more dollars are in the pot, the % goes down. I thought that was standard math. Why don't you show us the equation in dollars?
Keep in mind, Obama is using the crazy spending that Bush used, and has added significantly to it.

Reagan was indeed the worst (in more ways than debt-expansion).
